Mella Dee, real name Ryan Aitchison, has been on fine form this year, turning in an impeccable Feel My Bicep Podcast as well as remixing the Belfast duo’s ‘Satisfy’. It’s a rework that has been huge all summer, and a regular in the sets of Maceo Plex, Laurent Garnier, Skream and many more.

On ‘Franco’, Aitchison builds a techno roller on string-like-synths and his inimitable trademark kicks. Speaking about the release, he said, “Franco is a techno/house stomper loaded with a reese bassline.”
